[Verse 1]
Maybe you're right
We're holding on too tight
It's hard to say
There's no right or wrong way
To love your child
It's rooted in denial
Entangled wire and codependence

[Chorus]
Cathy, come home for supper
Cathy, he doesn't love you
Cathy, we know you're a dreamer
Your Daddy's bad back, he needs you
Tell us all about that suntan
Tell us all about that bruise on your arm
Oh, Cathy come home

[Verse 2]
This boy of yours
Who throws you to the floor
His car's outside
And he's banging at our door
The baby's his
And this time you're gonna keep him
Your life, your choice
Your happy ending
[Chorus]
Cathy, come home for supper
Cathy, he doesn't love you
Cathy, we know you're a dreamer
Your Daddy's bad back, he needs you
Tell us all about that suntan
Tell us all about that bruise on your arm
Oh, Cathy come home

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Cathy, come home for supper
Cathy, he doesn't love you
Cathy, we know you're a dreamer
So tell us all about that suntan
Tell us all about that bruise on your arm
Oh, Cathy come home
Oh, Cathy come home
Cathy come home
(Cathy come home)
(Cathy come home)
